You need to talk to SuperFireKirby about that. He's a bit of a fanboy when it comes to Dark Cloud...
Will do, I would love if he could make some sheet music & midis for the Dark Cloud songs.

Hello!
I just registered a few minutes ago. Someone on Synthesia forum gave me a tip that I can find a lot of game midis with only piano and I did. It's the most wonderful midi/sheet music site ever. I've played piano for almost 1 year and I still have a lot to learn. In the beggining I basically only learned a few songs from Youtube. I didn't really go ahead and improve much until I found Synthesia in Februar. I learnt sheet music just about 2 months ago and since then the improvement has gone a bit faster. But a few days ago I ordered the book "The Piano Handbook" from amazon.co.uk and I got it just two days ago.
My plan for the second year of learning piano is to learn most things from the book, start ear training and become good at it and ofc learn harder pieces.
It will be great when I will finally start playing game music on piano. I especially like the Dark Cloud 2 (Dark Chronicle), Legend of Zelda and Super Mario pieces.

Music / Synthesia

I don't know if anyone here knows about Synthesia and how useful the midis on the site are for it. I'm not advertising, I just want to let you know what it is and discuss about it.

Synthesia, previously known as piano hero is a computer program/game. It's basically a game where you see falling piano notes and can play them. You can either play the song automatically and just watch the notes fall or choose You Play and try to hit the right notes to get a score. You can use the computer keyboard but it's much better if you use a synth, keyboard or digital piano that can be connected to a computer (with a midi cable or midi usb cable). You can use any midi file for Synthesia.

However, the free version doesn't got everything, for certain things such as the practice mode and sheet display you have to buy a learning pac, it only costs $16 atm. It's worth to buy it according to me. On the other hand the game/program is still in development and there is a huge number of features to be added. One of them is sheet only display that would allow you to play with a sheet music display on the whole screen, it will be released sometime after version 0.7.0. But now there's mainly only the metadata editor left for the 0.7.0 version to be released.

But of course, you need to check it yourself to see how it works. So the link is:
www.synthesiagame.com

With your large selection of piano only midi files for games makes Synthesia very useful. It's the best midi site ever in my opinion.

Have you heard about Synthesia? What is your opinion?

Sony / Re: PS3 Games to buy?

I'm getting PS3 soon and already bought LOTR Conquest and Soulcalibur IV. I would recomend Folklore and Enternal Sonata too, if you are into PRG/action adventure.
